Editorial Review: Sunday Express, 14th October 2001: '...anyone who considers there is nothing more to a salad than a bit of limp lettuce and a slice of tomato should learn from Joy and think again.' Sunday Telegraph, 2nd December 2001: 'will inspire you to create the kitchen garden of your dreams' The Mirror, 8th December 2001: 'Joy covers every single aspect of growing organic salads' Organic Gardening, Dec 2001: '...a book which is difficult to recommend too highly' garden Answers, February 2002: '...every gardener growing for their tastebuds will learn so much from Joy.' The Irish Garden, Jan/Feb 2002: 'If the descriptions of individual crops don't inspire you to have a go, then the mouthwatering recipes at the end will certainly convert you.' The Times, 19th January 2002: 'This book should turn 'Eat your greens!' from an order to an enticement.' Evening Standard, 9th January 2002: 'Bursting with practical advice... a great range of easy-to-grow tasty things and down to earth suggestions on growing' The Garden, May 2002: 'Roger Phillip's glorious images of salad vegetables...combined with Joy Larkcom's wealth of knowledge, make this a must for food-producing gardeners.' Synopsis: This fully revised and updated edition (previously published as "The Salad Garden") includes extensive new material, particularly on oriental and fruiting vegetables and ornamental gardening, and is now entirely based on organic gardening practices. A guide to growing more than 200 salad plants, this book covers every aspect from site preparation to harvesting, detailing special techniques for growing salad plants and containing full descriptions of all the main salad vegetables with advice on the best varieties for growing and for flavour. Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating: - Attractive and instructiveAn excellent introduction and reference book for growing salad plants. The usual supects are covered as well as some rather more obscure ones. Creatively illustrated with marvelous photography, Larkcom firstly arranges chapters of salad plants such as stems and stalks, fruiting vegetables etc., as you would expect, but also flowers, herbs and wild plants. She then turns her attention to cultivation and finally ends with a few recipes. Anyone interested in starting a small kitchen garden, allotment or potager will find this invaluable and desperately inspiring. Joy Larkcom has been growing food since the seventies and her knowlege and clear style are inspiring. |
